Word Art Wednesday Challenge #643 Anything Goes (2/5)

I used Picked Raspberry Distress and Nocturne Versafine Clair ink pads on this Beautiful Moments stamp set, a Stamps By Me Lamination set. 

 

I repeat stamped both of the bird stamps to create my background then edged the white card with Picked Raspberry Distress ink and Clarity Crafts stencil brushes.  I sprayed the card with water to soften my inkiness.

I die cut watercolour card with my Sentimentally Yours oval die and my Memory Box Cherry Blossom die.  I stamped the bird with Picked Raspberry Distress and then stamped the details and sentiment with Nocturne Versafine Clair ink.   I inked the edges of the oval and watercoloured the Cherry Blossoms before adhering to my card front.

Two different types of Tonic Studio Nuvo Drops were used to embellish further.  I love how this turned out!  Back soon x

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #639/640 Anything Goes (3/10)

I used Distress and Oxide ink pads on this stamp.  I tried a tip Barbara Gray gave on Create & Craft and was able to get fabulous layers of ink on my stamped image.  

I covered an A5 piece of card by repeat stamping the bird.  I die cut a circle and stamped the bird using the same Distress and Oxides and stamped the sentiment with Nocturne Versafine Clair.    I inked all the edges of the card before attaching to a base, added the die cut and Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.   Back soon x
